Slow boot and no USB ports #25

Open nhojb opened 2 years ago

nhojb commented 2 years ago

I am setting up a Hackintosh using the Z590i Vision D and i9 11900 (non-K). I have previously run the same build with a Z390i Aorus Pro / 8700 with no problems. Current build is:

Gigabyte Z590i Vision D (Z5 bios, I've also tried Z6). Intel i9 11900 Samsung 970 Evo Pro 32MB DDR4 AMD RX580 macOS Monterey 12.0.1

I have based my EFI on the one from this repo. However I am having a terrible time getting things running.

  1. Early boot is really slow. Takes 2 or 3 minutes and frequently pauses.
  2. Once booted no USB ports are mapped (even though I have USBInjectAll and the ACPI port map enabled). I have also tried a USBMap.kext from here, but still no joy.
  3. Even when the system does boot it seems really unstable and will often kernel panic shortly after boot.

Bios: XMP: Profile 1 Legacy USB: Disabled iGPU: Disabled (for Rocket Lake).

My EFI is attached. Any ideas or suggestions would be very welcome :-) I seem to have tried every available option and nothing seems to work.

Note: I can boot Ubuntu from live USB and all works fine. So the hardware setup seems ok.

SchmockLord commented 2 years ago

Try the newest release. I have much better experience with this one.

nhojb commented 2 years ago

Ok, so I did get USB port mapping this time. But boot is still painfully slow and it kernel panics shortly after the desktop is loaded.

Note that I still have the onboard WiFi / Bluetooth module connected. But I'm using a Broadcom chip from my previous hack (connected via M.2 on rear of the board). The few times it has booted this is working. So don't think this could be a problem?

Try to not enable XMP. I also have issues with it on and noticed, that sometimes the BIOS needs a reset: Unplug power. Load optimized defaults and then just (without BIOS adjustments) try to boot into macOS again.

nhojb commented 2 years ago

Thanks! Disabling XMP seems to have fixed the kernel panics 🤞 On my Z390 board this had to be enabled to boot macOS. So I am cautiously optimistic now and very much appreciate the help 😄

You might set your RAM speed to 2667Mhz because I know that this is supported by macOS. But I have experienced the same issues like you when I used RAM speeds like 3600Mhz.

nhojb commented 2 years ago

I tried setting speed to DDR4-2666, but this is also unstable (not as bad as enabling XMP, but still fails after a few minutes). So I'm stuck on 2133 MHz - but at least it is stable. My memory is rated at 2666 MHz. Not sure if faster RAM would improve stability at 2666?

I got XMP enabled (DDR4-3200-16-20-20-1.35V) on my HYPERX Fury 3200mHz CL16. Everything works like a charm.

nhojb commented 2 years ago

It turns out the board is quite picky about memory: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z590I-VISION-D-rev-10/support#support-doc

Mine is only rated for 2133 MHz, so time for an upgrade - I'll have a look at the HYPERX Fury.

DarioBogus commented 2 years ago

In the meantime completely disable XMP and ram tuning. If you need, this is my 32GB kit P/N: HX432C16FB4K2/32

SchmockLord commented 2 years ago

Mine is G.Skill 3600Mhz CL18. F4-3600C18Q-128GVK. Native according to the table 2667.

I tried XMP with 3600 and 2667. Both cause instabilities. But only in macOS. Windows is fine with 3600Mhz.

Only with 2133 I have no issues.

nhojb commented 2 years ago

Ended up getting KLEVV BOLT X 32GB Kit, 3600 MHz, DDR4, XMP 2.0. It's listed as compatible with XMP in the Vision D support doc.

Has been working a treat so far with XMP enabled @ 3600 Mhz. Seems rock solid.

The slow boot issue disappeared when I switched to a WD_BLACK SN850 SSD (PCIe 4). Not sure what was the issue with the Samsung 970 EVO Plus - possibly because it is PCIe 3 or perhaps the SSD firmware needs updating. Anyway the WD drive is very fast so no complaints there.

In case anyone else finds this thread while searching the Internet for "Z590 slow boot".

So the BIOS on my Vision D was incredibly slow to boot, 30-40s before loading the bootloader (GRUB in my case). It was even slower resuming from suspend: about 1 minute! "Fast Boot" did not help.

Most of the time, a slow BIOS is due to scanning buses and other peripherals.

After a few hours of trial and error I got it down to ~10s by disabling:

Slightly off-topic sorry.
